HI
There are many causes for Anaemia . If Iron Deficiency is ruled out then we need to do certain other test to find out cause .
Kindly get these tests Peripheral Smear for Blood Picture , Serum Vitamin B12 , Stool for Occult Blood , Retic Count .
Revert back with reports .
Once we find the cause of Anaemia treatment will be easy .
